Chapitre 52: Chapter 52: Guarding Taian Island

"All the mortals on the island disappeared. The city where the mortals once gathered is now filled with tall trees that looked like the ancient forests."

"Each branch of those trees is filled with human-faced fruits."

"Whenever the wind blows, the faces on the fruits revealed chilling smiles."

As He Zhenghao recounted the tale, Li Fan seemed to see countless faces smiling at him.

Remembering that he had just eaten such a fruit, Li Fan couldn't help but shudder in revulsion.

He Zhenghao continued speaking.

"The Gold Core guard, after his initial shock, investigated the city."

"Not a single mortal survived on the island; all were turned into smiling face fruits. But why this strange event occurred, the Gold Core guard couldn't figure it out. So, he had no choice but to report the matter."
